Peter,

Just FYI, "двухтактный" when it comes to electronics vs internal combustion engines (which is where it is "two-stroke") translates as "push-pull". Notice that both our languages also use the term "пушпуль" alongsied with "двухтактный" which is direct borrowing from English terminology.

This said, accounted for the fact that it was recorded, played through the tablet and listened to through a decent pair of earbuds from a Samsung phone (they are not bad actually, had a chance to compare), Philco sounds better, in fact appreciably better.

IO still do not know what kind of service you performed with both radios, as this probably would depend on Tone Ctl regulation and all, but Philco sounds very nice. RCA sounds not bad, but not the same level of depth, clarity, base, and cross-distortion at high frequencies.
